Help Us Improve Filament Presets!

Introduction

This survey is about filament presets only — their production, distribution, and sharing.
To avoid confusion, here are the definitions:
Printer preset: Contains printer hardware settings such as maximum axis speed, print area limits, and nozzle diameter. (Not in scope for this survey)
Filament preset: Contains filament-specific settings such as print temperature, bed temperature, and flow ratio. (This is our focus)
Process preset: Contains print job settings such as layer height, support, and extrusion width. (Not in scope for this survey)
